How does a draw indicate that two teams have the same quality of play? When out of coincidence Real Madrid loses against Las Palmas, is Real Madrid worse than Las Palmas? I think it needs a lot more things to judge the quality of play other than the result. The result can be the consequence of many events including luck.

Benzema is just one factor and I wouldn't give him too much credit anymore. He can be important to the team and there I agree, but to say that they are doomed to lose or something when he is injured just goes too far.

I think it is more about how much teams care and how well they play. Most teams that are great usually end up dominating smaller clubs, but at some times those big clubs end up underrating their opponent and not be able to get a win.

I think that could be the case here as well, specially considering the league itself is not a hard one, the value of the whole league could be lower than some big name clubs, and these players ended up playing in those clubs before as well, so they look at a team with 25 million euro value, lower than their personal value, and they think they do not have to play all that hard. This results with the other team playing much better and the big club not playing all that well which all results with the fact that we are not going to end up with the expected result.

I have also thought about something else because when there is a weaker team that plays against Al-Nasr, wouldn't it be more motivating when there is someone like Ronaldo on the pitch? I can imagine that players put even more effort into beating Al-Nasr because it has this extra bit of global attention and every player of the opponent knows it. They know that a part of the world will watch that game. Of course it is still an advantage to have Ronaldo on the team, but this is just a consideration that came to my mind. I think if I was a player and I would be playing against Ronaldo, it would definitely motivate me some extra.

Before Ronaldo’s arrival Talisca has been an important player for the team and for a player with so much quality it is only right for him to shine along side Ronaldo in the team, he is a goal scorer that’s why it’s easy for him to shine as well. Al Nassr attackers are all goal scorers that is why they score 3 goals and more in almost every match they play and in this way they can easily challenge for the trophy. They are just 2 points behind the league leaders so there are still in the title race.

The difference in points is indeed small, but the competition of the difference in points is very small. At the moment I am not quite sure that An Nassr can easily get a champion. They have a rival team that is almost equally powerful. So if you say it's easy, I think it's wrong. Indeed they look convincing this end because of 6 consecutive wins. Mane's arrival had a big effect.

It is true that Al Nasr's front players, namely Ronaldo, Talisca and Sadio Mane, are excellent goal scorers. Because of this, it has been proven in the last eight Saudi Arabian League matches that these three players always contributed goals in almost every match. However, in my personal opinion, Al Nasr cannot be said to be a great team if it cannot beat strong teams such as Al Ittihad, Al Etifaq and Al Taawon. The reason is that in the last matches played by the Al Nasr team, they only played against teams whose level was below them or could be said to be weaker. So in my personal opinion, to measure Al Nasr's true abilities, I think we have to wait until the match against another strong team occurs.

And indeed, if you look at the difference in points, Al Nasr is currently not far apart from group leader Al Hilal. So Al Nasr does have great potential to top the standings. However, with the condition, Al Nasr must be able to beat a strong team first. Maybe that's quite a challenge for Al Nasr. Because if you look at other strong teams besides Al Nasr such as Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Taawon and Al Etifaq. I think these teams have almost the same quality. So, to determine which team is stronger, the answer is that we have to wait for the upcoming match between the five teams.

Al Nassr is performing better and always shows very good progress so that it is able to catch up and only has few points difference with first place occupied by Al Hilal and second or third place occupied by Al-Ittihad and Al-Taawon.
From what Al Nassr has achieved they have a big chance of becoming champions this season and can make the squad the strongest for the Saudi Pro League.

Actually if you say it easy it not quite right because Ronaldo and his friends try very hard and always maximize their performance to be able to win every match and catch up with the team at the top of the standings.

As time went by some Al Nassr players were really showed the world that for this season big changes had occurred, changes that made Al Nassr difficult team to beat.
I believe Al Nassr can take advantage of the opportunity and can become the team that occupies first and place to win the trophy this season.

All clubs in the SPL will have the same ambition, namely to win a trophy at the end of the season, the top five standings are very competitive at the moment. Week 9 will happen soon, the standings are likely to change again significantly, I think. The match between Al Ittihad and Al Ahli will be an interesting one to look forward to, Al Nassr will have a slightly easier opponent, Abha Club.

If Al Ahli draws with Al Ittihad, then Al Nassr will move up one level but with the condition that they must succeed in getting points by beating Abha Club. For Al Hilal, who currently leads the standings, I think they will remain at the top because the chance of winning over Al Akhdoud is quite big.

Al Nassr are among the favorite team clinching for title, the Knights of Najd is elite club who want the very best results in SPL. With the presence of frontline vital players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Talisca, scoring goals have been made easy for the team. They have ultimate targets to hits this season, moving into more considerable essential spots on SPL table with the aides of frontlines who doesn't relent in games. Al Nassr keeps consistent winning this season, they're able to achieved it because of the star line-ups, who are ready to take the team to next level.

Al Nassr having been achieving their first target as they sign Cristiano Ronaldo for this club and bring in this league with now their second target is winning the Saudi League and also having AFC Champions League title which is also looking good until now because after losing two early matches now they have good record with 9 matches winning streak and right now with their performance and quality look like things could be good for them to have these titles in this season.

Ronaldo is having company of Sadio Mané and Talisca which are giving their best and currently after having 24 goals from 8 matches things are clearly indicating what is their target for this season and how they will be in coming days as well. From these 24 goals we have 20 from their three main players which is amazing stuff and if they have no injury then surely things could be at different level until end of this season for the Saudi League and Al Nassr club.

It’s quite interesting that Al Hilal is rated almost twice as good as Al Nasr, although in my opinion these clubs are not very different in strength and the arrival of Neymar rather weakened Al Hilal. Currently the bookmaker's quotes are as follows:

AL Hilal  2.72

AL Ittihad FC 3.40

AL Nassr FC 4.90

AL Ahli Saudi FC 6.85

AL Ettifaq FC 16.00

Maybe they reflect the tournament position of the teams, but I think that in just a couple of rounds everything can change radically.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal on Monday was his first the Asian Champions League while Talisca scored two goals to help Al Nassr beat Istiklol and that's why I think both players are very important to the team. The truth is that no player can authoritatively say he's the sole reason behind the club's current impressive performance.
Al Nassr is club that's made up of football stars and will always do better as a team than when the players wants to show their individual brilliance.

[fullhdpixel]

There are important stars in Al Ahli and they are still behind in the race for leadership. They are experiencing regressions in scoring goals. While they could score 16 goals, they conceded 13 goals, which also shows that they have a problem conceding goals. They also need to solve their defense and goal problems. The Saudi Arabian league is now above average. They have teams with excellent players. Al Ahli should not be left behind in this race.

It is surprising that Al Ahli has conceded so many goals, despite having good defenders such as Roger Ibañez, Merih Demiral and Ibrahim Al-Zubaidi. And their only match against top sides have been the 3-4 loss against Al Nassr. All the remaining matches were against relatively weaker clubs. In addition to all this, they have one of the best goal-keepers (Édouard Mendy) currently playing in the Saudi Professional League. What they can do now? Maybe it will be a good idea to get 1-2 defenders from any of the European clubs.

Agree, because they are having the weakest defence in top six teams with already concede 13 goals from 8 games with their attack is also not supporting them as they needed at this time with 16 goals from them in 8 games with relatively all other top clubs are having good attack which is helping them for having better performance even I also agreed about their new signing in coming Winter transfer window, but they need to have changed into their strategy as well because right now they are playing openly which is not suitable for them even having few top rank defenders and goalkeeper as well.

Current season is surely first with having too many good players and most chances things will be improved in coming days because now few teams are doing impressive and for the better competition all needed to be at the same level which make things more entertaining for the fans and title race.

I am very confident that Al Nassr will take the Saudi Pro League trophy back home because the team is very promising now. Like I have mentioned earlier, the club needs a stronger goalkeeper. It will be of more advantage to the club. Having Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo combined in a club like this was a great decision.

Ettihad also have Karim Benzema and N'golo Kante and the club is also doing awesomely as far as this season is concerned. My evaluation for now is based on these top rated players. They are strikers that are promising and have elevated the league as a whole. Meanwhile, I want to follow the challenges to the end of this season. I am already predicting Al-Nassr and Ettihad at the finals.

[savetheFORUM]

Saudi Pro League is competitive, and only the best leading clubs comes to lifts significant League titles. Al-Ahli ranked 6th in the table, after a goal-less draw against Al Ettifaq. Al-Ahli manager, Matthias Jaissle is determined to make his team a better one. However they might pushed further to earned themselves a quality position. Effective frontline from Matthias Jaissle men but they need to focused their energy towards scoring because that's the only way to weigh up the team to outstanding form. Al-Ahli next game is Al-Ittihad which would be challenging and difficult to predict, though we hope for good impact in the game.

Even though it is difficult to predict this match, I think Al-Ittihad will have a chance of winning this match because if you look at it so far, Al-Ittihad's performance is quite stable.
Al-Ittihad must perform optimally in this match to be able to get points and be able to occupy first place.
looking at the odds that Al-Ittihad has are quite convincing, namely @ 1.70 while Al-Ahli @ 4.20 of course Al-Ittihad will be the favorite here, especially since Al-Ittihad will compete at their headquarters, of course this will help Al-Ittihad a little to win the match This.

Both teams are at same level but in last four matches we have big decline in Al Ahli performance which is big setback for their race of top ranks and Al Ittihad is surely defending champions, but they also have last match with goalless draw which bring them to second spot, and they want to fight back after this result which is possible because they also have good attack and their defence is also one of the best in this league which is good advantage for them.

Al Ahli which is also former champion but now in this season they promoted, but they spend huge amount for having quality players just because of this now things are looking impressive, but they need some more work for having better results which is possible, but it takes time.

I am already predicting Al-Nassr and Ettihad at the finals.

Al Nassr opportunity is very open to win a trophy at the end of the season, they just need consistency throughout the match and get full points. Ronaldo plays quite an important role at the club, his presence improves the overall mentality of the players. Even though Al Nassr started the season a little unstable, now Al Nassr is back on track, with 6 wins in 8 matches. Together with Saido Mane, Ronaldo is expected to bring good luck to Al Nassr.

Al Hilal is the strongest and unbeaten club to date, and is at the top of the SPL standings. Al Ittihad and Al Tawoon occupy second and third positions in the standings, followed by AL Nassr in fourth position. I see that the competition in the SPL standings is getting tighter and more competitive, Al Nassr must fight harder to remain consistent so that they can climb to the top of the standings. And the top scorer table is currently led by Ronaldo with 10 goals, he is still very sharp in front of the opponent's goal.

Who knows, maybe destiny had different plans?
Ronaldo, the savior for Al Nassr. Al Nassr, once the underdogs, now stand tall in the Arab league and aim to win the Saudi Pro League trophy. However, Al Hilal has won the domestic league title a remarkable 18 times. The club has recently signed Neymar. So, what I mean is, the stage is set for an epic battle between Al Nassr, Al-Ettihad, and the towering 18-time Saudi Pro League winners, Al-Hilal.

In the previous match, Al Ittihad drew against Al Fayha with a score of 0-0, as well as Al-Ahli who also drew against Al Ettifaq and it seems that both teams are having problems with their strikers. In several Al Ittihad matches, it seems that Benzema was absent several times and I didn't get any important information regarding Benzema, it is very likely that he was injured.
As for Al-Ahli, their star Firmino is having problems scoring goals for his squad. Throughout his matches with Al-Ahli, he was only able to score a hat-trick on his debut.

Well, this week the two teams will meet each other in Week 9 of the Saudi Pro League. Obviously, the home team is more favored than the away team. The reason is, based on the depth of the Al Ittihad team, it is better than Al-Ahli. So it is very natural for bookies to favor the home team. but what is certain is that Al-Ahli will not be easily defeated by Al Ittihad, even though Al Ittihad is stronger and playing at its own base. My guess is that this match will be quite an exciting match. also, a chance for Firmino to prove his quality. Meanwhile, for the home team, they don't want to lose points in order to strengthen their ranking on the standings. or, shifting the ranking occupied by Al Hilal. let's wait, it looks like this match is worth watching.

I am already predicting Al-Nassr and Ettihad at the finals.

For now, clubs that have star players from europe will definitely compete closely and will always competitive to fight for title in Saudi Pro League this season and the candidates who deserve to get the title are not only Al-Nasr but Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad as well worthy of being candidate to hold an SPL degree.
I know that this season will be very big season for the top club to continue to compete for best places and for club that are currently below the top 10 in points table, they will only be club to get point for the big clubs, as if weak club will only be the material to get them victory for a big club like Al-Nasr.
Ronaldo has still been very good in last few match and I would like to see stronger performance in each match to continue adding point to make points gap little further.

[hahay]

Before Ronaldo’s arrival Talisca has been an important player for the team and for a player with so much quality it is only right for him to shine along side Ronaldo in the team, he is a goal scorer that’s why it’s easy for him to shine as well. Al Nassr attackers are all goal scorers that is why they score 3 goals and more in almost every match they play and in this way they can easily challenge for the trophy. They are just 2 points behind the league leaders so there are still in the title race.

The difference in points is indeed small, but the competition of the difference in points is very small. At the moment I am not quite sure that An Nassr can easily get a champion. They have a rival team that is almost equally powerful. So if you say it's easy, I think it's wrong. Indeed they look convincing this end because of 6 consecutive wins. Mane's arrival had a big effect.

Basically, all the top European forwards who play for teams in the Saudi Pro League now at least have a very high goal productivity. So yes, I think it's not just about Ronaldo and Talisca and with that, then of course they have quite an interesting and difficult competition right now. So, although Al Nassr has a chance to win the Saudi Pro League title this season, it will certainly never be easy for Al Nassr to get it because other competing teams also have good quality players. But yes, because Al Nassr really managed to get a winning streak at this moment, then at least these results can be proof that Al Nassr is very ambitious to get the title this season with the famous players it has.

But is also shows that the Saudi Professional League is so much easier to play for these superstars because I doubt that Mane and Ronaldo would have the same goal count and assist count in the Premier League or another European top league. Of course it is their job to score in their position, but the frequency would incredible in any European league. I don't think it is as impressive in this league though. But still it is a performance that should be respected.

Al-Hilal didn't lose any match yet and they are trying their best to keep the first spot for them. Their 2 draws made the others close to them. Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are heavy contenders for the title also but I am impressed with Al-Taawoun and Al-Ettifaq resistance so far among the top teams.

Saudi Pro League grown popular this season, with further signing of European players, all eyes on the league. It is important for most players to shine in their first season, whereas some European players finding it extremely difficult to have their best peak in their new League they found themselves, while some have already rowing really smooth with the new system. Talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, we never noticed any scenario were the Portugal international have difficulty, he keep elevating his team to next level, his presence have also bring the very best from his teammates and upgrade of Al Nassr pattern of game.

After all the SPL teams have finished their 8th match of the season and it can be seen which team is the most consistent in maintaining their form this season. For Al Hilal, they are one of the teams that have never experienced defeat, which makes them sit comfortably in 1st place in the standings. Al Hilal's defense is quite strong and they have many top European players in their squad this season. However, looking at the condition of the teams ranked in the top 4 of the Saudi Arabian league, it seems that there is not a big enough difference in their points tally, I mean if a match every week can change their ranking in the standings table.

Al Nassr also performed quite well, they were able to win many matches after a not very good start to the season. Al Ittihad will face Al Ahli in this week's match. I think this match will be quite a big match in the SPL because it brings together two teams that have many top European players in their squad. Maybe I will support Al Ittihad to win this match. Al Naasr will also face Abha in tomorrow's match. Maybe this is an easy match for Al Nassr and I think they will be able to win this match easily.
